DECATUR, Ill., June 18, 2018—Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE: ADM) today celebrated the opening of its new, high-tech feed facility in Columbus, Nebraska.

“Earlier this spring, we opened our new pet food premix facility in Effingham, Illinois. Today, we’re celebrating another new, state-of-the-art ADM Animal Nutrition plant, this time in Columbus, Nebraska,” said Samson Li, president, ADM Animal Nutrition. “We’re proud to invest in Columbus, and in a new, modern facility that will allow us to continue to meet customer needs for high quality, cost-competitive feed.”

“Adding value to agricultural products is at the heart of a strong and growing ag economy in Nebraska,” said Gov. Pete Ricketts. “By producing high-quality livestock feed here, ADM is not only adding value to ag products, but their continued investment adds value to our state. We are excited that ADM continues to invest in Columbus and across Nebraska.”

The new facility features state-of-the-art technology, including:

• New production line to provide range blocks for cattle, dairy cows and horses.
• Automation within receiving, batching, packaging, and loadout.
